Overview
Lovelace Medical Center’s PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program provides a wide variety of rotations focused on developing residents into well-rounded, patient-centered members of the care team. The evidence-based pharmaceutical education residents receive prepares them to enter the workforce or seek specialized training upon completion of the program.
Our Pharmacy Department
Our department is composed of over 55 team members including pharmacists, technicians, interns and residents. We have several clinical pharmacy specialists who work directly with the clinical care teams covering internal medicine, infectious diseases, critical care, cardiology, and emergency medicine. Over 80% of our preceptors are certified in their specialties. We host more than 80 pharmacy students and interns annually. This allows for many opportunities for a very dynamic layered learning experience for residents in the program. We also collaborate with the College of Pharmacy to offer a Teaching Certificate Program to support our resident’s growth as educators and help shape the future of our profession.
